FORMER Grand Prix star Matej Zagar will be back in British racing next season with Birmingham.
The Brummies have snapped up the 41-year-old Slovenian to join Poland’s Tobiasz Musielak at the top end of their side. Zagar has not ridden in the Premiership since 2022 when he was with Belle Vue. Birmingham boss Nigel Tolley said: “One thing that nobody can argue with is that Matej is an enormously talented speedway rider. “He was a Grand Prix regular for over a decade in total and he won his national championships for 18 successive years – that takes some doing no matter who you are or who you are up against. “When he last raced here a couple of years ago, he was very, very impressive around Belle Vue and he’s looking forward to tackling the away tracks in this league again. “I’ve looked back at his previous scores around Birmingham the last time the club was in the top division and some of them are very eye-catching. “I think Matej’s experience in the sport could count for a lot for this year’s team and hopefully he and Tobi will form a solid spearhead.”
